RNG Gears!

Looking for some advice on my RNG, I just got it to 78... so it's brand new.

For tp and ws, I wanna try and get those ag+8 earring set. Peacock charm switch with justice if have good acc. Ring is obviously nq... gonna get my behemoth +1 from mule lol, unless better acc ring for tp. Mythril grip +1 I just use for another job for enm... so not sure if I wanna use another -1 inv space for the str+3 grip just for 1 more str. Any other suggestions will be appreciated!

TP:


WS:

I was always a fan of the 5 Hit Bow /sam, especailly now that sub sam has access to sekkanoki. Solo skill chain on Dyna mobs winder > winder > Reverb = Dead.

A 540 delay weapon shouldnt be too hard to build 5 Hit on.

get more str. and a rose strap. get a 6 hit build asap. and str earrings. whiskey tango foxtrot @ cassie. axe grip > mythril.

Praeda Sabatons are pretty nice for acc tp. Ire torque is 6STR too, I'm not positive if that'd beat Gorget on WS (less accuracy though), but I'd assume yes. Dual Triumph earrings would be an upgrade for both sets though as would Strigoi ring if you can get one.

two str earrings over the agi set? I was told that is the best atm, which is what I said in OP that I was planning to get.

I agree with this at least a 6hit.

Go the Extra mile and get any more STR where you can.
That means Triumph Earring(s) (Bushi is free if you have it)
Axe Grip
flame Ring (or better)
Aurore Brais give more R.Acc then Relic now (can still swap in the Relic if you need the -enmity)
and personally I like to TP in the Crimson hands...
but WS in Seiryu Kote. Still can't beat 10 r.acc and +15 AGI in one slot

EDIT:

See my above about the Kote.
Slap 15 AGI on your hands for WS and you can stack the STR into the Earring slots

they arent. str > agi for rng. you shouldnt have much problems with acc. if you want to get really serious get hachi legs and feet and a rose strap. with a rajas it will be a 6 hit /nin

I'm new to ranged calculations but

Triumph Earrings

16% STR
25% AGI
5.0 FTP +.097

D83 +24 = D107
70STR base +52STR >124
70AGI base +17AGI > 87
124-67 = 57/2 > 28FSTR2

18WSC STR + 21WSC AGI = 39*.83 > 32WSC

D+FSTR2+WSC*5.097
107+28+32*5.097 = 851

Agi Earrings

16% STR
25% AGI
5.0 FTP +.097

D83 +24 = D107
70STR base +50STR >122
70AGI base +25AGI > 95
122-67 =59/2 = 29fSTR

18WSC STR + 23WSC AGI = 41WSC*.83 > 34WSC

D+FSTR2+WSC*5.097
107+29+34*5.097 = 713

Just assumed base stat values, used G.Colibri as target.

Edit: Thanks for corrections Raen

Thanks for info all, yeah I switched the grip to a rose and have enkidus/rajas. I really am hard pressed for inventory space these days, so most of what I used is from other jobs. I won't be planning on making RNG my most used DD, honestly just leveled it for a few select fights. I know the NQ stuff can be upgraded but was looking for more of a general idea of what things I should want to use for TP/WS that would make a bigger difference.

Would be using this for tp then, don't have hope torque yet:



and just swap for ws the feet for RSE2, hands for s kote if need acc otherwise crimson, gorget, str ring/earring + fenrir (better than another str earring when in effect? or str earring still better?).

Barrage build just pure racc/str(in places where no racc?)

Triumph would still be better, unless it's something very high def. rating. Even then the difference would be marginal, but otherwise Triumph beats it pretty significantly.

swap torque for peacock ammy and coral ring for flame ring. white box crim hands they arent to hard to get. and triumph will out do fenrir earring. and for barrage stack as much r.acc as possible. but dont take out your items with s.tp (grip legs ring) because all 5 hits so you can ws right after > 100 more damage on the barrage.

Ranged Accuracy 60
Ranged Attack 57
AGI 33
STR 13
DEX 13
"Subtle Blow" 5
"Store TP" 12
DMG 159
Enmity -13
Enhances "Snapshot" effect
"Conserve TP" 5
Increases critical hit damage
"Rapid Shot" 5


Just randomness that would be cool to have

RNG/SAM TP Set


RNG/NIN or RNG/WAR TP Set


RNG Unlimited Shot WS Gear Set (Swap Mekki Shakki and Rose Strap on /WAR or /NIN)


RNG WS Set (Swap Mekki Shakki and Rose Strap on /WAR or /NIN)


RNG Barrage Set (Swap Mekki Shakki and Rose Strap on /WAR or /NIN)

Snapshot is pretty good if you're quick to use your ranged attacks. If your ACP body isn't already locked to something else, go for Snapshot + R.att. Aurore Beret may actually be a better TP option but I'm not sure about the Snapshot on it. Zha'Go's Barbut should definitely be one of your top goals for RNG. Mekki Shakki too, it opens up a lot of options for hit-builds.

Also, I wouldn't suggest Ire Torque for Sidewinder. Yes, it will be more damage than sea gorget, but the sea gorget accuracy is significant, in my experience. Ire Torque is okay for Refulgent Arrow, though.

Sorry, this isn't in answer to your question, but i'm also a ranger looking at the 76-80 gear and I came across the Loki's Kaftan,and I saw that Rule had it...



I was wondering if it is worth while getting for RNG, seeing as I have COR aswell i figured i'd get a good use from it. Also is it an Abyssea drop?

The only way I'd consider Loki's Kaftan is if it was pivotal for an x-hit build.

Otherwise Snapshot+5 Mirke body or any body with Snapshot would be a better choice.

Are these sets correct? because they seem rather pointless with what sub you say they are for. Mekki for /war but you still maintain a 6-hit build? why? Also no 5-hit on /sam?
